"Shrapnel Build Guide for Once Human"

In the immersive world of Once Human, the Shrapnel build is renowned for its capability to inflict widespread damage through the strategic use of shrapnel effects, which simultaneously harm multiple parts of enemies. This guide delves into the intricacies of crafting an effective Shrapnel build, offering detailed insights into selecting the best weapons, armor, mods, deviants, and cradle overrides to optimize your performance in combat scenarios.

What is the Shrapnel Build?

At its core, the Shrapnel build leverages weapons and gear that activate shrapnel effects, thereby inflicting additional damage on parts of enemies that were not initially hit. By boosting critical hit rates, increasing magazine capacity, and enhancing shrapnel damage, this build enables a relentless barrage of devastating attacks. Envision it as launching fireworks, where the extra damage comes from the collateral impact of multiple shrapnel shots. Below is a comprehensive breakdown of the build and its essential components:

Primary Weapon – SOCR – The Last Valor

The SOCR – The Last Valor is the linchpin of the Shrapnel build. As an assault rifle, it offers a high rate of fire and a 4% chance to trigger shrapnel upon each hit, causing additional damage to random, previously unhit parts of enemies. Critical hits amplify this effect, doubling the shrapnel chance and adding a 30% boost to critical damage, making it an excellent choice for prolonged engagements. The blueprint for this weapon can be obtained through the Wish Machine by engaging in mini-games or by spending 8,000 Starchrom at the Blueprint Shop. For the best results, crafting the Tier V version is highly recommended.

Recommended Attachments:

• Large Brake: +4 Range, +20 Accuracy, -8 Stability
• Reflex Sight: Zoom Level 2.0x, Aiming Speed +5.0%, Stability +5
• Tactical Laser Sight: +19 Accuracy, +12% Aiming Speed
• Extended Rifle Mag: Magazine Capacity +8, -13% Reload Speed

Secondary Weapon – DE.50 – Wildfire

The DE.50 – Wildfire complements the Shrapnel build by marking targets with "The Bull’s Eye," thereby increasing their vulnerability and enhancing the effectiveness of shrapnel effects. Alternatively, the Recurve Crossbow can apply "The Bull’s Eye" upon hitting weak spots, providing a 15% critical rate boost against marked targets for 10 seconds, setting the stage for the primary weapon to deliver maximum damage.

Melee Weapon – Long Axe

The Long Axe serves as a supportive melee weapon within the Shrapnel build. Its "Fortress Warfare" ability, triggered by heavy attacks, creates a protective zone that grants Heavy Armor to allies, significantly boosting team survivability and durability.

Armor Items

The Lonewolf set is highly recommended for the Shrapnel build, as it offers increased magazine capacity and critical rate boosts. The set's "Lone Shadow" effect further enhances critical damage with each critical hit, stacking up to 10 times. Blueprints for each piece of the Lonewolf set can be acquired at the Blueprints Shop through the Wish Machine for 3,000 Starchrom each.

Recommended Mods for Weapons

• Shrapnel Souvenir: Automatically reloads the magazine upon triggering shrapnel, ensuring continuous fire.
• Shrapnel Smash: Increases critical hit rate by 1% after each shrapnel trigger, stacking up to 20 times.
• Crit Amplifier: Boosts critical hit rate by 10% and critical damage by 15%.
• Momentum Up: Increases fire rate by 10% for the first half of the magazine and weapon damage by 30% for the second half.

Recommended Mods for Armor

• Targeted Strike (Face): Enhances damage against marked targets.
• Crit Booster (Gloves): Further increases critical hit rate.
• Covered Advance (Shoes): Improves movement speed while aiming.
• Bullet Siphon or Deadshot (Bottoms): Enhances ammo efficiency or critical damage.
